Medical - Medical (general) / gastroenterology
Spanish term or phrase: bridas y adherencias
Part of a medical record for an emergency room visit:

"Le realizaron una laparotomía exploratoria el 23 de octubre donde encontraron bridas y adherencias."

Most sources seem to suggest that both "bridas" and "adherencias" translate to "adhesions". Any suggestions?

adhesions
Explanation:
I am unable to find any physiological distinction between the two

except that bandas - bands of scar tissue
adherencias = adhesions

which are one and the same thing, it appears to me

Scar massage and tissue release
Specialist massage techniques can effectively treat pain and immobility caused by scarring and adhesions, even from very old wounds.

Scar tissue and adhesions are part of the body’s healing process, formed in response to injury, illness, surgery and other medical treatments. However, sometimes too much tissue grows and interferes with the body’s functioning. Surgery to cut adhesions causes more adhesions and so patients can fall into an adhesion/surgery cycle.

Anything from a childhood fall to major surgery can have a lifelong effect on the body but this can be significantly lessened with scar tissue release- a systemic massage therapy which releases and re-aligns the body’s connective tissue. Although this is not a cosmetic treatment, scars can become less visible as a side effect.

What are adhesions and scar tissue?

Adhesions are fibrous bands, or thin sheets of tissue, that grow as a result of trauma to the body. They stick together other tissues and/or internal organs. Depending on their size or location, they have different names e.g. cross links, micro-adhesions.

scarring and adhesions


Explanation:
These terms both refer to a type of scarring, but "adhesions" are different in that they bind two tissues/organs together.
